OMFGZORS, are y00 a prophet!?!?!?!?! Liek, u probly hav connecshuns 2 nintendo, rite?

(Just playing, and no, this isn't meant to be an insult towards you, but rather the people who seem to latch on to lucky guessers. =P)

Anyways, I can't say I expected this one to even happen, nor do I really think I'll ever use him. However, the more the merrier, says I. Personally, I'm a little worried as to his usefulness/how balanced he's going to be. He seems really strange (Ice Climbers, though admittedly good, are a stretch as is with two characters to control, but now we have 5+?), but I'm not saying it's hopeless. I'm just worried, I guess.

However, I'm still very VERY happy with a character update. Thought there wouldn't be anymore until the leaked info from Japan's Brawl release.

Olimar sure will be an interesting character to control. I wonder if he'll be able to release more Pikmin from under the ground.

A lot of people hate the poor guy. He wasn't my favorite, but he's a welcome addition. He isn't taking roster spots from anyone. You'll have to get used to him, haters.

edit: You think his announcement will be be bigger because of the whole chatacter drought thing? Also, is this gonna open up for the whole '3 characters a month' thing again?

A place where no one cares about brawl but me
A solid character (not one i was personally wanting ) but at the same time he could be really interesting sakurai obviosly saw a good moveset and decided to put him in, i really like the graphics on his suit for some reason!! A GOOD WAY TO BREAK THE STRING OF NON CHARACTER UPDATES!!!

ALso in that one screen shot it looks like he's hitting mario with the pikmen or trying to!

I new there was going to be a new character eventually,to match up the Veterans and Newcomers,but I didn't think it was going to be Captain Olimar.I have never played a Pikmin game before though.

Gimpyfish exists, that doesnt mean Bowser is a good character
Click to expand...
The difference is that Chudat is one of the best players in the world and Gimpyfish is simply very good. The difference is further that Gimpy can only win matches by outsmarting his opponent while Chudat has other skills to fall back on when the "mindgames" fail. And THAT is because Bowser is a bad character, while the Icies are simply the hardest to use but have, on a purely theoretical level, the most potential of any character in the game.
So, no, they aren't bad.

I knew he'd be in, but just seeing him confirmed on the Dojo got me excited for everyone, especially Pikmen fans.

Glad to see him jump in the fray. Now I really, really, REALLY want Brawl already...

this is great! i was expecting Olimar as a playable character, i wasn't expectig that uniqueness tho, where he has to have pikmin with him to do smash attacks and who knows what else, but i think it's awesome to have a character fight like that.

No-one saw this coming. I was in "no more character updates" mode. Then I get hit with this. Amazing.

Now please Nintendo, Zelda's special moves!

I like it that nobody saw this coming because of the lack of updates.

Hot ****. Too bad this will probably be the last character update we get until release.

PS: "Olimar is just too small, he won't look right in brawl" My ***!

Somewhere, most likely existent
*ahem* Yeah, so what was that about being too small/large? Hehe...

Well, I can't say I expected him to be updated on the site. Nor am I complaining. But somehow his main picture bugs me. It seems somehow photoshopped... *shrug* Not to mention his Pikmin's flowers/buds look like crap ingame... Oh, well. It's nice to see Olimar. And I love the song that comes with it. Good choice, Sakurai!

WOW! I can't believe it! This is probably near the top of my surprising updates ever! I just couldn't believe it! I can't wait to see him in action. The music is nice, too.

Totally new, unique, awesome character. I'm so happy I could cry :)
I predict his neutral or down B move plucking up Pikmin. Each smash and some B moves will require 1-2 Pikmin to do. This is a stretch but what if the color of the Pikmin is random(mabye a % or stock modifier) and the color will have a slight effect on the moves (more purple=more damage, more white=faster)

ooooOO I can't wait to use them in battle.

This gives new hope for Ridley.
Too big for Brawl my as$ :p

I must admit, I was never a fan of Olimar in Brawl, but Sakurai has really converted me. He looks very unique, and looks like he's going to be a fun character to learn how to master.

Still, a part of me wishes it was Ridley, or Krystal today.
